Yes, if this was a subscription based game.

As it stands...

No chance,

It completely destroys CCPs p[ayment model for dust 514, the whole point of tiers is to allow players to pay-up tiers for faster advancement. Therefore making CCP money so they can continue to develop the game.

You really need to be more specific. I don't understand what you mean by "less modules" I never said anything about less modules.

As for you "T-x" thing, are you referring to Tier or Tech levels? If Tier, then you are mising up all the different "classes" of suits. Scout would have each of those tiers, so would assault, so would logi, etc. Mixing them up makes everything even more "cookie-cutter" and over-simplifies this game.

What your list seems to allude to is the Dropsuit Operation SKill itself where level 1 could get you access to light suits, level 3 access to medium suits, and level 5 access to heavy suits. If that is what you are trying to do?

No one is buying suits and other consumables with real money in large numbers. Most aur purchases are for boosters and bpo items. Ccp needs to make aur for boosters and cosmetic items only.

Okay, never mind... thought you were going on about something else I meant if there's a suit with 3H 2L slots or a 5H 4L which will most choose if you're referring to MLT-PRO

I mean that it is better to just instead of having different STD, ADV and PRO bonuses to have different Tech 2 and Tech 3 Variants with different bonuses.

CPM has been hard pressing for this and are unanimous on the 'concept' now how to go about it varies between cpms though.

Oh I see. No they would nominally have the same base stats (with maybe a few slight tweaks here and there for armor, shield, etc). This would include similar if not same slot layouts.

Tiercide is all well and good but first they need to fix the skills that do nothing but unlock the next tier. Anyone trained dropsuit command to 5? I don't know anyone who has or why they would even bother.

I hate the idea of tiericide. It destroys the risk vs. ISK mechanic of this game, which is its most compelling feature.

In EVE there was never a reason to fly certain ships because they were stepping stones. Tiericide addressed this by making all ships have relatively equal power within a category, but they still have huge meta differences (e.g. The Omen, Navy Omen, Zealot, Legion). A DUST analog would be like making sure the Sentinals and Commando suits were equally as strong in their respective roles.

I find myself running STD, ADV, and PRO tier suits all of the time depending on the situation. Making choices about how much ISK to lay on the line each respawn is one of the most interesting/compelling dynamics this game has to offer. If this is being considered primarily to combat the problems with proto stomping new players and ruining the NPE, there are MUCH better alternative solutions that don't break the game. I would like to see an optional 2nd tier academy where new players can play in easier matches up to x SP (somewhere around 2-5 mil).

...and this is why I will never approve tiercide for dropsuits.
